They haven’t lagged behind, they started designing around a trackpad which has more gesture affordances and is consistent with their other devices. I use their Magic Trackpad and prefer it over a mouse
I disagree, but you know having different preferences is fine. I think the trackpad of the macbook is the worst trackpad I've ever used, typing from an m1 mbp right now and wish it had distinct right & left mouse buttons.
But the nice thing is you can buy a variety of form factors that suit your needs. Unless its Apple, in which you get basically one thing take it or leave it.
The mouse could still be useful though. Apple mouse is just horrible in most regards, and no trackpad can offset this fact, despite being a head and a half above any competition.
